“I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn't find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself.”

Anything. Ideas that pop into your mind when you here the name. Everyone has these, I just want to know, without having background knowledge, do these names have any soecial meaning or connotations I should know about, before I use them in a book. I also want to know overall thoughts about the names, anything, whether you like them or dislike them, or maybe if you've seen a special spelling for the name and think I might want to use it instead. Anything! General thoughts.

I really don't, lol. But ok. I'll give that a go. I'll just tell you what I think of the names and how they go as a set.

Ash/Phoenix- Well. I understand the code name. I might wonder if Ash was short for Ashley though.Seth- I like this one. There was a series I read by Catheine Fisher in which Seth was the main character.Lilith- This is ok. But next to Seth I prefer Liljana.Indigo- I wrote a book a few years ago where one of the main characters was a boy called Indigo.
Obsidian- Not a fan. Jett perhaps? Still a black stone and stylistically it fits a bit better.

Quinn- Ok.Calla- Alright. Kae- I think I'd change this one as it rhymes with Gray. Something longer perhaps. Kerensa or something. It would give some balance to Sebastian's long name.Gray- Not bad.Sebastian (or Bastian)- Ok.
Dare- Not my sort of thing. Maybe if it was a nickname for something. It just seems odd that the other girls have light sounding names and this one has a harsh sound to it.
